Figure 6. Visualizationexamples usingTecplot SV.VisualizationTypically, TCAD simulators produce two types of data forvisualization: X-Y data such as I–V curves and doping profiles, and2D/3D scalar and vector data fields such as electrical potential,carrier concentration, and current flowlines. The Visualizationoption of Sentaurus Workbench supports both of theserequirements.For X-Y data, a scripting language and a comprehensive libraryof mathematical functions allow users to postprocess simulatoroutput to generate new curves and extracted parameters. Valuesextracted in this fashion can be returned to the SentaurusWorkbench environment for further applications.Visualization of scalar and vector data is accomplished througha fully integrated and customized interface to Tecplot®, whichis dedicated software for scientific visualization by Tecplot, Inc.(www.tecplot.com). This state-of-the-art scientific visualizationenvironment is the perfect tool for data exploration and analysis,giving TCAD users unsurpassed 2D and 3D views of internaldevice behavior. In addition, creation of presentation-qualityplots and animations, and sharing of results on the Web are fullysupported.Sentaurus WorkbenchGraphical User InterfaceSentaurus WorkbenchBatch andQueueing SystemNone(Local Host)Scheduling SoftwareDMW(UNIX)LSF(Third Party)Computing ResourcesLocal HostFigure 7.
